He Thinks the Law of Supply and Demand is a Diabolical Ono and Sees No Remedy For the Labor Troubles Save by the Ap- plication of the Gospel. Washington, Sept. 5. -Dr. Talmage's plan for settling the industrial troubles of our day is set forth in .this sermon. His text is Matthew vii, 12, "Whatsoever ye wieuld that men should do, do you even so to them." The greatest war the world has ever fieen is between capital and labor. The strife is not like that which in history is 'called the Thirty Years' war, for - it is a War of centuries; It is a war of the five continents; it is a war hemispheric. The middle classes in. this country, upon Whom the nation has depended for hold- ing the balance of power and for tinting as mediators between the two extremes, lire diminishing, and if things go -on at the same ratio as they are now going, it will not be very long before there will be no middle class in this country, but all will be very rich or very poor, princes or paupers, and the country will be given up to palaces and hovels. A Great Conflict. The antagonist -ie forces are closingdin upon each other. The Pennsylvania miners' strike, the telegraph operators' strikes, the railroad- employes' strikes, the movements of the boycotters and the avnanaiters, are only skirmishes before a general engagement, on if you prefer it, escapes through the safety valves of an explosion of society. Yon May poohpooh It; you rimy say that this troubte, like the angry child, will cry itself to sleep; • you may belittle it by calling it Four- ierism, or socialism or St. Simonism, or nihilism, or communism. but that will not hinder the faot that it is the mighti- est, the darkeet, the most terrific threat • of this century. All attempts at pacifica- tion have been dead failures and mon- • opoly is more - arrogant and the trades unions more bitter. "Give us more wages," ory the employes. "You shall have less," say the capitalists. "Compel us to do fewer hours of toil in a day." "You shall toil more hours," say the others. "Then, under certain condition, we will not work at all," say these. "Then you shall starve," say those, and, the ei orkmen gradually using up that which they accumulated in better times, unless there be some radical change we shall have soon in this country 4,000,000 hungry men and evonien. Now, 4,000,000 hungry people cannot be kept quiet. All the enactments of legislatures and all 'the constabularies of the cities, semi all • the army and navy of the United States cannot keep 4,000,000 hungry people quiet. Wbat then? Will this war between capital and labor be settled by human wisdom? Never. The brow of the one becomes more rigid, the fist of the other more clinched. But that which human wisdom cannot achieve will be accomplished by Chris- tianity if it be given full sway. You - have heard of medicines so powerful that one drop will stop a disease and restore a patient, and I have to tell you that one diem of my text, properly administered, will stop all these woes of society and give convalescence and complete health to all classes. "Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do you wren so to them." I Shall first show you how this quar- rel between monopoly and hard work oannot be stopped, and then I will show you how this controversy will be settled. • Futile remedies. In the first place, there will come no pacification to this trouble through an outcry against rioh men merely because they are rich. There Is no member of a trades union on earth that would not he rich if he could. Some- times through a' fortunate invention or through some accident of prosperity a man who had nothing comes tO a large estate, and we see him arrogant and supercillious and taking people by the throat, just as other people took him by the throat. There is something very mean about human nature when it comes to_the top, but it is no more a sin to be rich than it is a sin to be poor. There are • those who have gathered a great estate through fraud, and then there are mil- _ lionaires who have gathered their for- tunes through foresight in regard to changes in the markets an d through brilliant business faculty, and every dol- lar of their estate is as honest as the dollar which the plumber gets for mend- ing a pipe or the mason gets for build- ing a wall. There are those who keep in poverty because of their 'own fault. They • might have been well off, but they gave themselves to strong drink, or they smoked or chewed up their earnings, or they lived beyond their means, while others an the same wages and on the same salaries went on to competency. I know a MOM who is all the time com- plaining of his poverty and crying out • against rich men, while he himself keeps two dogs and chews and smokes and is filled to the chin with whisky and beer. F ut I le Effer-ts. • Micawber said to David Copperfield: "Copperileld, My boy, Ll income.' 20 shillings and 6 pence expenses; result, misery. But, Copperfield, my boy, Al income, expenses 19 shillings and 6 pence; result, happiness." An there are vast multitudes of people who are kept poor because they are the viotiros of their own improvidencie. It is no sin to be rich, and it is no sin to be poor. I pro- test against this outcry which I hear against those who, through economy and self denial and assiduity, have come to large fortune. This bombardment of commercial SUCCOSS will never stop this quarrel between capital and labor. Neither will the contest be settled by cynical and unsympatheic treatment of the laboring °lessee. There are those who speak of them as though they were only cattle or draft horses. Their nerves are nothing, their domestic comfort is noth- ing, their happiness h nothing. They have no more sympathy for them than a hound has for a hare, or a hawk for a hen, or a tiger for a calf. When Jean Valjean, the greatest hero of Victor Huge's writings, lifter a life of suffering and brave endurance, goes into incarcera- tion and death, they clap the book shut and say, "Good for him!" They stamp their feet with indignation and say just the epposite of “Save the working class- es." They have all their sympathies with fthylook, and not with Antonio and Portia. They are plutoorats, and their feelings are infernal. They are filled with irritation and irascibility on this subjeot. To step this awful imbroglio between capital end labor they will 1116 not so muoh as the tip end of the little finger. Neither will there be any pacification of this angry controversy through vio- lence. • God never blessed.murder. The poorest use you can put a: man to Is to kill him.

In this country the torch put to the factories that have discharged bands for good or bad reasons; olstriictions on the rail track in front of midnight express trains because the offenders' do not like the president of the company; strikes on shipboard the hour they were going to sail, or in printing offices the hour the paper was to go to press, or in mines the day the coal wee to be delivered, or on house scaffoldings so the builder fails in keeping his contrad-all these are only a hard blow on the head of American labor, and cripple its arms and lame its feet and pierce its heart. Traps sprung • suddenly upon employers, and violence. never took one knot out of the knuckle of toil or out ono farthing- of wages into a eallous palm. Barbarism will never cure the wrongs of civilization. Mark that! • Frederick the Great admired some and near his place at Potedam, and he re- solved to get it. It was owned by a mil- ler. He offered the miller three times the value of the property. the .miller would not take it because it was the old homestead, and be felt about as Nahoth felt about his vineyard when .Ahab wanted it. Frederick the Great was a rough and terrible num, and he ordered the miller into his presence, and the king, with a stick in hishand-a stick with which he sometimes struck 'his officers of state -said to this 'oilier, "Now, I have offered you three times the value of that property, and if you won't sell it, I'll take it anyhow." The miller said, " Your majesty, you won't." ,"Yes," said the king, "I will take it." "Then," said the miller, "if your ma- jesty does take it, I will sue you in the 'chancery court." At that threat Fred- erick the Great yielded his inftunous de- mand. And the most imperious outrage against the working classes will yet cower before the law. Violence and con- trary to the law will never accomplish anything, but righteousness and accord- ing to the law will aboomplish it. Lookin= for Helier., Well, if this zontroversy between capi- tal and labor cannot be settled by human Wisdom, if to -day capital and labor stand with their thumbs on each other's -throat -as they do -it is time for us to look somewhere elee for relief, and it points from my text roseate and jubilant, and puts one hand on the broadcloth shoulder of capital and puts the other on the homespun covered shoulder of toil and nye, with a voice that will • grandly 'and gloriously settle this and settle every- thing, "Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do you even so to them." That is, the lady of the house- hold_Will say:- "I must treat the niaid In the kitchen -just as I would like to be treated if I were down stairs and it were my work to wash and cook and sweep, and it 'were the duty of the maid in the kitchen to preside in this parlor." The maid in the kitchen must say: "If my - employer seems to be more prosperous than I that is no fault of hers. I shall not treat her as an enemy. I will have the same industry and fidelity down stairs as I would expect from my subor- dinates if I happened to be the wife of a silk importer." . - The owner: of on iron mill, having taken a dose of my text before leaving home in the morning, will go -into his foundry, and passing into what it called the puddling room, he will see a man there stoipped to the waist and besweated and exhausted with the labor and the toil, and he *Will say to • him: "Why, it seems to be yery hot in here. You look very much eahausted. I hear your child is sick with scarlet fever. If you want your wages a little earlier this week, so as to pay the nurse and get the medi- cines, just come into my office any time." After awhile crash goes the money inarket, and there is no more demand for the articles manufactured in that iron mill, and the owner does not know what to do. He says, "Shall I stop the mill or shall I run it on half time, or shall I cut down the men's wages?" He walks the floor of his counting room all day, hardly knowing what to do. To- ward evening he calls all the laborers to- getherr They stand all around, sonie with arms akimbo, some with folded arms, wondering what the boss Is going todo now. The manufacturer says: en, Mines are very hard. I don't make 0 where I used to make $100. Some- how there is no demand now for what we manufacture, or but very little de - mad. You see I an at vast expense, and I have called you together this after- noon to see what you would advise. I don't want to shut up the rnill, because that would force you out of work, and you have, always been very faithful, and I like you. and you seem to like me, and the bairns must bo- looked after, and your wife will after awhile want a new dress. I don't know what to do." There is a dead halt for a minute or two and then one of the workmen steps out from the ranks of his fellows and says: "Boss; you have been very good to us, and when you prospered we prosper- ed, and now you are in a. tight place and I am sorry, and we have got to sympa- thize with you. I don't know how the others feel, but I propoee that we take off 20 per cent. from out wages, and that when the times get good you will re- member us and raise them again." The workman looks around to his comrades and says: "Boys, what do you say to this? Ali in favor of my proposition will say aye." "Aye, aye, aye!" shout 200 voicuet. B the iuihl owner, getting in some new machinery, exposes himself very much, ad takes cold, and it settles into pneurntipia, anti he dies. In the proces- sion bathe tomb are all the workmen, tears rolling down their cheeks and off on the ground, but an hour before the prooession gets to the,cometery the wines and the children of those workmen are at -the grave waiting for the arrival of the funeral pageant. The minister of religion may have delivered an eloquent eulogium before they started from the house, but the most impressive things are said that day by the working classes standing around the tomb. - Christ's Injunction,. That night in all the cabins of the working people where they have family prayers the widowhood and the orphan-' se in the mansion are remembered. No • g populations look over the. iron fence f the cemetery; but, hovering over the s en ;the benediction of Godand rpn is oming for the fulfillment of the Christlike injunction, "Whatsoever ye Would that 'men should do ,to you, do you even, so to them." "Oh,' says some man here "that is all Utopian, that Is apocryphal, that is im.poeslkirta" Ne. 1 cut out of a paper this: "00 of the pleasantest incidents recorded'in a long time is reported from Sheffield, England. The wager; of the men in the iron- works at Sheffielli are rAtnilat*d .1tY.a •board of arbitration. bv ilrffditt dedirldif bah niatiters and men are bound.

To avoid the difiloulty, the workmen in one of the largest steel works in Sheffield hit up -oh a device as rare as it was gen- erous. They offered to wor* for their . employers- one week without any pay whatever." But you go with ,me and I twill show you -not so far off as Sheffield, England -facithries. banking -houses, storehouses and cestly enterprises where this Christelike injunction of ray text is fully kept, and you could no more get the employer to practice an injustice upon his men, or the men to conspire against the employer, . than you could get your right hand and your left hantd, your right eye and your left eye, your right ear and your left ear, into physiological antagonism. Now, where is this to begin? In our bomes, in our stores, on our farms -not waiting for other poeple to do their duty. Is there a divergencanow between the par- lor and -the kitchen?

The great want of the world to -day 18 the fulfillment of this Christ -like injunc- tion, that which he promulgated in his sermon Olivetic. All the political &Ion - °mats under, the archivault of the hea- vens in convention for 1,000 years cannot • settle this controversy between monopoly and hard •work, between capital and labor: During the Revolutionary war there was a heavy piece of timber to be lifted, perhaps for some fortress, and a corporal was overseeing the work, and he was giving commands to some sold- iers as they lifted: "Heave away, there! Yo heave!" Well, the timber was too heavy; they. could not get it up. There was a gentleman riding by on a horse, and he stopped and said to this corporal: "Why don't you help them lift? That timber is too heavy for them to lift." "No," he said, "I won't; I ani a cor- poral." The gentleman got off bis horse • And came up to the place. '"Now," he said to the soldiers, "all together -yo heave!" and •the timber went to its place.. "Neer," said the gentleman to the corporal, "when you have a piece of timber too heavy. for the men to lift, and you want help, send to your commander- in-chief." It was Washington, Now, that. is about all the gospel I know -the gos- pel of giving somebody a lift,' a lift out of darkness, a life out of earth into hea- ven. That is all the gospel 1 know -the gospel:of helping somebody else to life. Supply and Demand. "Oh," says some wiseacre, "talk as you will, -the law of demand and supply will regulate these things until. the end of time." No, they Will not, unless God dies and the batteries of the judgment day are spiked, and Pluto and Proser- pine, .kingand queen of the infernal regions, take full possession of this world. • Do you, know who supply and demand are? They have gone into part- nership, and they propose to swindle this earth and are swindling it; You are drowning. Supply land demand stand on • the shore, one on one side, the other on the other side of the lifeboat, and they /cry out to ye% "Now, you pay us what we ask you for getting you to earth, or go to the bottom!" If you can borrow $5,000 you can keep from failing in busi- ness.- Supply and demand say, "Now, you pay us exorbitant usurY, or you go into rbankrutpcy.". This robber firm of supply and demand . say to. you: "The crops are short. We bought up .all the wheat and it is in our bin. Now, you pay our price or starve." That is your magnificent law of supply and demand. Supply and demand own the largest mill on earth, and all the rivers roll over their wheel, and into their hopper they put all the men,women and children they can shovel out of the centuries, and the blood and the , bones redden the val- ley while the mill grinds. That diabolic law of supply and demand -will yet have to stand aside, and instead there will come the law of love, the law of cooper- ation, the law of . kindnese, the law of sympathy, the law of . Christ. Have you no idea of the coming of such a time? Then you de not believe the Bible. All .the Bible is full of promises on this sub- ject, and as the ages roll on the time will'comeWhen men of fortune will be giving larger sums to humanitarian and evangelistic purposes, and there will be more James Lenoxes and Peter Coopers and William :E. Dodges and George Pea- • bodys. As that time comes there will be more parks, more picture galleries, more gardens thrown open for the holiday people and the working classes. I was reading in regard to a charge that had been made in England -against Lambeth palace that it was exclusive, and that 'charge demonstrated the sub- lime faot that to the grounds of that wealthy estate spo poor families have. free passes and 40 eroquet companies, and on the half holidays 4,000 poor peo- ple aeoline on the grass. walk through the paths and sit under the trees. That is gospel -gospel on the wing, gospel out of doors worth just as much as in- -doors. Viet time is going to come. That is only :& hint of what is going to be. The time ie going to come when, if you have anything in your house worth looking at-ploturee, pieces of sculpture -you are going to Invite me to come and see them, you are going to invite my friend to come and see them, and you will say, "See what I'have been blessed with. God has aiven me this. and so far as enjoying it, it is yours also." That is gospel. • A Sublime Posture.

Around the atrium- stand 40 Doris 3o1umns of Indiana litnestone, surmount- ed by a gallery,frone which rises another order of columns -in - this • case Ionic - which support the roof: Frone this gal- lery extend the various rooms occupied . by the paintings and exhibits of clefs- . - onne, porcelain and glass and electrotype reproductions. The collection of pictures includes a large number of .portraits which possess igreat historical interest, and in some craws artistic merit.. For the -rest, the motive of the collector was rather to buy what pleased hap than to complete a representative colleetion. The old masters cap be .oteunied by ones and twos. There te On example of the Italian renaissance, and of American works only a sprinkling, and these, with a few exceptions, not, represenstative of our best achievement. Still, Washington is the Mecca of the people and the influence of these galleries far-reaching and good, and the increased accommodation will no doubt stimulate 0 growth in the col- lection itself.-Harper's Weekly. *hat an (Meal.' Steamship Carries. The famous steamship Greet Eastern, historically associated with the first efforts to lay Atlantic telegraph cables, - has hitherto been regarded as the largest vessel ever launched. Its laurels as a sea •leviathan, however, are of late enden• gered. The new freighter Pennsylvania, although scarcely attaining the external measurements of the- fernier celebrated ship, will carry far more cargo. - The capacity indeed of these new freight ships is a matter for astoniehment to a lands- man. The Pennysivania, for example, is rated at 20,000 tons burden and will carry loads such as may be briefly item- ized thus: 160,000 bushels of wheat in bulk, equal to 320 car loads or 16 trains of 20 cars each; 1,000 tons of flour, 80 carloads; 4,000 boxes of bacon, 75 car- loads; 3,000'tierces of lard, 48 earleads; 1,300 bales of cotton, 40 oar loads; 1,200 head of live cattle, 80 oerloads, and 8,600 quarters of dressed beef. In addition there will probably be a thousand tons of miscellaneous merchan, disc,. say 80 carloads more; in all not less than 780 carloads or 39 long trains of 20 bars each. Nor is the -above by any means the en- tire.loail of this modern ark. The Penn- sylvania will have aocommodations for from 800 to 1,000 -steerage passengers, as also for a crew of 150 men and 50 cat- tlemen, with food and fodder for all. • In the fuel bins, too, there: be carried a burden or 1;300 tons of *coal, or :more than 100 carloads. . If we were to say that the •entire agri- cultural product of 60 New England towns, or 20 western (mantles, could all be stowed away in this mammoth ship, we should not exceed the- facts -Youth's Companion. - To Try Our Faith.

He was going into St. Themes from Port Stantey, and when close to the- city a dog ran out at him.I Mr. Hession had a revol- ver, and pulled* out of his pocket to shoot the canine, but, instead,' he shot himself in the leg at the thigh; the bullet barely missing the main artery and embedding itself four inches in the fleah. ,118.811811111M118811n, We wish we could make everybody bplieve that promptness is prevention; that there should be no de- lay when you are losing flesh and when you are pale, espec- ially if a cough be present.
